It is becoming more obvious that AOL "restructuring" hoopla was either:

1) A diversion to distract from AOL's staggering loses and slim chances of ever reporting a real quarterly profit

or

2) Prep for AOL breakup (recognition that AOL cannot sustain the kind of losses needed to remain a player five years from now, hence the hiring of Pittman).

or

3) Both.

More info on AOL breakup rumors:

BTW, any guess on what percentage of AOL's recent reported membership gain were on AOL's wildly popular 50 hrs. free plan?

How 'bout 150%. Or is that too conservative?
